I’ve always been interested in the world of media for a long while now, at least since I created my first social media account on Snapchat. The simple action of putting my name and email down on a sign-up page introduced me into a whole new chapter of my life, one that I still have much to learn about. One of the guiding questions that keeps me invested in trying to learn as much as I can in the world of media is what can I do to separate myself from other media publishers? Whenever I look around, I see plenty of news outlets, social media websites, and others repeat the same formulas to pull in as big of an audience as possible. While this strategy is obviously affective, and it tends to draw lots of clicks for these media outlets, it tends to get bland and predictable after a while, and I can’t help but to want to make something more of myself as I go into the Journalism field. Some questions I ask myself when taking this mindset into consideration are: What topic has nobody else covered that I could make something interesting out of? What connections should I make and what people should I meet in order to get my work out to a larger audience? All of these questions are hopefully things I will take into heart and use to my advantage to help kickstart a successful career in Journalism.
